Full Group Analysis

Glasgow Health Board, QEUH, General Medicine, SG11 FY1 48 Docs CC/LMS 22/10/15, F1, Resident. No monitoring.

Band 2B (Based on template only)

Steps through the banding flowchart:

- New Deal Compliant

- Average work above 48 hours a week

- Work pattern is a full shift, partial shift or hybrid

- Less than 1/3 of duty hours outside 7am to 7pm Mon-Fri (.294) and less than 1 weekend in 3 (1 in 3.43)

Note: The band of a rota may change if monitored hours of work are different to those suggested by the theoretical work pattern. It is particularly important to remember this if a theoretical work pattern is close to the limits of a particular payband. Differences between calculated prospective cover and actual work done by doctors to cover absent colleagues can also cause a variance between theoretical and monitored bands.

Riddell Formula Calculations

Prospective cover for: Duties outside normal hours.

Leave: F1 - 35 days/annum for 48 doctors = 1680 days/annum

Total leave to be covered for the group = 1680 days/annum

Between 48 doctors this is 35 days/annum each (7 wks/annum each)

The normal working week = 40:00 per week.

Number of hours in a leave week = 40 (the hours in the normal working week)

For every leave day in the pattern, 08:00 hours has been added to the duty and work hours

(This figure is a fifth of the hours in a leave week)

Riddell hours = (Wkly hrs*52 - Hol Wks*Hrs in leave wk)/(52-Hol wks)

Riddell duty hours = ( 2910*52 - 7 * 2400)/(52 - 7) = 2989.33 = 49:49

Riddell work hours = ( 2910*52 - 7 * 2400)/(52 - 7) = 2989.33 = 49:49

New Deal Analysis

European Working Time Directive Analysis

Availability of normal days (Based on template only)

In a 52 week period, doctors are available during normal hours on 173 days

There are 15 days of leave built into the pattern

It is assumed that an additional 45 days of leave will be taken to make 60 in total

This reduces the normal days to 128 in the 52 weeks

This is equivalent to 2.46 days per week.

See the paper "The European Working Time Directive 2009" by Yasmin Ahmed-Little and Matthew Bluck in "The British Journal of Health Care Management" 2006, Vol. 12, No. 12 for details of the calculation and its implications.
